Description:
starting 5.0.3beta returns:
ERROR! Can't execute @sbindir@/mysqlmanager

mysql.server for 5.0.3beta has the following lines:
if test -z "$basedir"
then
  basedir=/usr/local/mysql
  bindir=./bin
  datadir=/usr/local/mysql/data
  sbindir=@sbindir@
else
  bindir="$basedir/bin"
  sbindir="$basedir/sbin"
fi

while 5.0.2 alpha which does work has:
if test -z "$basedir"
then
  basedir=/usr/local/mysql
  bindir=./bin
else
  bindir="$basedir/bin"
fi

Additionally, the 5.0.3 seems to force the datadir to /usr/local/mysql/data

How to repeat:
./mysql/support-files/mysql.server start

Suggested fix:
Revert back to the 5.0.2 mysql.server.
